Three St. Louis Rams and one Carolina Panther were fined by the NFL for illegal plays from the teams' chippy Week 7 meeting.

Rams defensive end Chris Long, who was ejected for throwing a punch, received the biggest fine ($15,750). Fellow Rams Harvey Dahl and Brian Quick were each fined $7,875 for personal fouls, while Carolina receiver Steve Smith was fined $7,875 for striking an opponent in the face while blocking. Smith was not fined for taunting Rams cornerback Janoris Jenkins.

Other players receiving large fines from Week 7 games include Washington Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo ($15,750) for roughing the passer against the Chicago Bears; Tennessee Titans linebacker Akeem Ayers ($15,750) for unnecessary roughness against the San Francisco 49ers; Miami Dolphin Jelani Jenkins ($15,750) for roughing the passer against the Buffalo Bills; Houston Texans defensive end Jared Crick ($15,750) for roughing the passer against the Kansas City Chiefs; and Denver Broncos defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson ($10,000) for unnecessary roughness against the Indianapolis Colts.

Vickerson was not fined for any of his three personal fouls against the Colts but was docked because of a play in which cameras showed him hitting Colts center Samson Satele in the leg on an extra point attempt. Satele left the game after that play.
